With Violet.

"Listen, girls, your mother is wise, and she knows-." Violet stopped speaking. The playfulness left her face, and her expression became completely serious.

"Darling..."

A crown appeared on her head and began to slowly spin. Using her Order powers together with future sight, she searched for the reason Victor was so irritated.

"ANNA!"

"Yes, My Empress."

"Take care of our daughters." Violet turned around and then ordered: "All to your posts."

She looked at Ruby and Sasha: "With me, my sisters." Before disappearing along with Sasha and Ruby. Then, the others vanished after she left, leaving only Kaguya and Nyx behind.

"Ahh, she ran away-."

"Silence," Anna ordered, and as if someone had pressed the mute button on the remote control, everyone fell silent. Those who were not blinded by their feelings quickly realized that something had happened that made all the mothers change.

Anna looked at Kaguya and Nyx, and nodded: "Go, I’ll take care of things here."

"Yes." They did not waste any time and quickly disappeared.

When the mothers stopped playing around, all the other daughters realized that something must have happened.

Stella, Victor and Anna’s daughter, walked up to her mother and asked: "What happened, Mother?"

"... Nothing happened, just an expected development. Don’t worry about it. Soon a report will be available for all interested parties to see."

"I understand."

"Now, go back to your duties, and if you need anything, just call me."

"Yes, Mother."

...

Upon returning to the ritual site, Victor saw his beloved wives there: Violet at the front, followed by Sasha, Ruby, Velnorah, Amaterasu, Aphrodite, Kali, Jeanne, Scathach, and Azathoth.

"You’re here, Good. Follow me."

In their shared space, he saw and felt his other wives as well, each one at her own task, prepared for anything.

Leaving the ritual room, he walked toward a meeting room with a futuristic table.

"Akasha, come here."

"Yes, Father." Seconds later, Akasha was standing in front of Victor in her true body.

"Take this data and put it into the Empire’s database, security level G-7... Put it in private for now, and don’t add it to the system. Only the adults of our family can see it." Victor thought for a few seconds and decided not to rush.

"Yes, Father." Akasha nodded.

"What happened, my Emperor?" Scathach asked.

"I found the anchor of a god from the Upper sector."

"...." Everyone’s eyes immediately became more serious.

"I understand. Why were you so irritated?" Violet was more concerned about her husband than about some trash god.

Just thinking about what happened, Victor felt the irritation return, but he had become excellent at controlling his emotions. "See for yourselves..." When he was about to show the memories, he stopped for a few seconds when he realized the problem: "Wait, I need to limit the exposure."

Using runes from the Eldritch language for mental protection and to filter the exposure even further, he showed his memories to everyone present.

Everyone remained silent for a few seconds as they watched the memory from a third-person point of view. Only Azathoth could see the memories without any protection when Victor manifested completely.

With their draconic brains, they absorbed the entire memory in a matter of seconds. They looked at everything with a cold gaze, not caring at all about the man’s deaths or the horrible way he died and returned.

"Interesting, it’s as we thought." Velnorah was the first to speak.

"Now we are certain that Niklaus is with this faction," Sasha spoke next.

"The information is third-hand, and it is full of many of the God’s personal opinions. It is not very reliable." Amaterasu reinforced.

"Agreed. Until we see personally how things are, I will not put faith in some information given by a god who isn’t even among the strongest there." Victor nodded.

Scathach was more interested in Victor’s Eldritch form, since it had been a long time since she had seen it. ’He became even stronger... Can I deal with this?... No. I can’t. I need something to deal with this.’ She became more motivated. Victor was like a surprise box, and there was always something more hidden inside him.

’As expected of my chosen partner, he is perfect.’ She was very happy that she had kidnapped him that day.

Violet was thinking about something else: ’So he was the one who irritated my Darling. It’s a shame that he died. I would have made his life an endless hell.’ She sighed sadly.

Seeing Scathach and Violet like this, Victor’s irritation disappeared as if it had never happened. ’Never change, my beloveds, never change.’ He thought.

"Black Eclipse, huh? That’s quite a name for a pantheon." Jeanne focused more on this.

’It’s irritating that my brother doesn’t give me information about the Upper Sectors, their stupid rule.’ She was not satisfied with this at all.

"The one responsible for this pantheon is < Darkness>, ranked in position 8 in the system. It is a pantheon whose majority is composed of gods from the Negativity side." Victor began to explain.

"Their hierarchy is simple: < Darkness>, the primordial God of Darkness, is at the top, followed by seven gods who are his generals. They are called the Seven Black Thrones. The rest is quite similar to the hierarchy we had here."

"Therefore, it would look like this: Primordial God at the top > the seven highest-ranking gods, the Seven Black Thrones > Greater Gods > Lesser Gods > and servants."

"They are even simpler than the old Norse pantheon," Aphrodite said.

"The Norse pantheon was a mess in the middle and high levels, and the same went for the Greeks," Victor said.

Ruby spoke: "And they are the same, classifying their entire population as Servants. It must not be a good place to live."

"Who cares?" Violet spoke up. "What matters is that they are a faction that mostly has divinities that we have, so it is a good opportunity for us to feed on these divinities and strengthen our forces." Although at her level this would increase little, it was always good to eliminate competitors if possible. And they could always give that divinity to their subordinates.

"I like the way you think." Azathoth smiled.

"God of the night, God of the Void, God of Silence, God of shadows, God of death, God of fear, God of the eclipse, God of oblivion, they all have some divinity that can reinforce our forces. They are the perfect food." Kali spoke. "Unfortunately, this God did not have their names, since we could use their names for weakening rituals. It’s a shame." Despite saying this, she doubted it would work. After all, they are gods of a higher hierarchy, but it costs nothing to try.

"And these are only the seven main gods below <Darkness>, there must be more gods that can feed us," Violet said.

"Do we have an estimated level of their strength?" Haruna asked everyone mentally.

"The Leader is at a galactic level, and his seven gods are at a similar level, only slightly inferior. The elites must be at the level of destroying entire solar systems. The medium and low-level soldiers are between continental and planetary levels."

"... They are weaker than I thought," Haruna said.

In the Empire alone, the Imperial Guards who protected the imperial family were at the level of destroying entire solar systems, and they were numerous. Not to mention the elites of each region, as even those who focused more on development were not exactly weak, and these were only the elite. The Emperor’s wives were mostly at the galactic level.

"They are not weak, the problem is that we are a total anomaly. But even so, I fear it is not enough." Velnorah spoke.

"Yes, we have been developing for 200,000 years, but just with the memory of this God, we can predict that his pantheon has existed for more than 2 million years. Even if a war happened and he lost forces to the other factions, it would still be a substantial number to deal with."

"Not to mention that the low and medium soldiers of this faction are mindless beings, more like organic machines."

"We should invest more in lifeless troops, whose only objective is destruction," Velnorah spoke. The clones were good, but they were not enough. ’Maybe if I clone my old race and make an army of beings that can control technology.’

"That doesn’t say anything, dear. My old pantheon existed for thousands of years, and we were mostly weak compared to the others." Aphrodite spoke.

Although the reason for the Greeks’ weakness was the lack of unity, something common in most pantheons of ancient Earth.

"Not to mention that mindless beings can be controlled and turned against us. Can you guarantee that the machines will be 100% incorruptible?" Amaterasu spoke.

"...." Velnorah opened her mouth to speak, then fell silent. She could not guarantee it, as there were many strange powers out there. Even the clones were not safe, but they had more protection because their Souls belonged to the Emperor. Even if they betrayed the Emperor because of corruption or some strange power, the body would self-destruct, and the soul would return to the Emperor, who was a monster when it came to manipulating souls.

"It’s better for us to play with the strengths of our strongest. Darling is a specialist in everything related to spirituality and the soul. We will bet on that."

"Not to mention that we don’t only have the clones, we have the dragons, the Leviathans, the Eldritch beings, thousands of gods."

"But continue this project in a safe place. It is always good to have more cards up our sleeve." Amaterasu finished.

"Agreed. The machines may be useful in the future, just continue your work," Violet said.

"Understood." Velnorah nodded. ’I will clone my old race and make a squad of these beings.’ She thought.

"... But we will not put all our eggs in one basket, that’s foolish," Victor said. Then, he raised his right hand, as several powers began to gather in his palm.

"My love, help me here."

"Yes, Darling~." Azathoth placed her hand above Victor’s and added her power.

The wives backed away, both physically and mentally. When the two cosmic horrors combined their powers, it was better to stay away.

Soon a creature was created: a shapeless being, like a slime, with hundreds of eyes.

"We will use this."

"Hello, Little One." Azathoth smiled gently, and caressed him. After all, this little one was someone from her pantheon.

"What does he do?" Ruby asked curiously.

"An extra protection against our soldiers: think of it as living corruption."

"His name is Abhoth"

"....." Ruby was speechless, and so were those who knew Lovecraft.

"... You just created the one who is called the source of impurity, and the progenitor of evil?" Ruby spoke incredulously.

"Hey, don’t insult him like that. He was just born, he isn’t automatically evil." Azathoth defended him.

"...."

’It’s hard not to think like that when the being created by the two of you is a ridiculous outer god.’ The wives thought.

"His power is interesting. Everything he touches becomes corrupted, and I decide what that corruption is. I will add him to every soldier and citizen of the Empire, so if someone tries to corrupt my adorable soldiers... They will be the ones to be corrupted in return."

"And do you know the best part?" Victor smiled beautifully. As the personification of beauty, he was captivating, but his words were horrifying: "There isn’t exactly a countermeasure for this."

Although it doesn’t carry his essence like his daughter Yog, this little creature is even more special than his daughter. After all, it is directly connected to the Emperor.

Therefore, if someone corrupts his soldiers or makes them betray him, Victor will know, and he can use the fragments of this little one as an anchor to control the other side. It was a two-part security system. The enemy attacks, the enemy resists, the Emperor knows what happened, and now you have to deal with higher-order cosmic horrors. And the best part was that he could let the countless world trees connected to him do the job of keeping watch, since they weren’t doing anything most of the time. Victor can also add some of his parallel thought processes to this task.

Upon hearing how this little one works, the women looked at Victor with a strange look.

"I would hate to be your enemy," Velnorah spoke. Victor was an extremely annoying enemy to deal with, as he could always invent some nonsense and mess everything up. Battle plans? Strategy? None of that mattered in the face of some irrationality that Victor could do just by creating an outer god.

"Indeed, he is extremely problematic to deal with," Scathach said.

"... You just became the elder of a sect that appears every time your little ones are in danger." Ruby snorted as she looked at the creature: "Should I call him young master now?"

"...."

Victor was speechless: "... I admire how you manage to associate everything with culture."

"Everything is part of culture." Ruby snorted proudly.

"That’s it! That’s my sister!" Pepper clapped happily.

"Continuing!" Violet controlled the room. "Is he safe?"

"Yes." Victor would never play around with the safety of his soldiers. After all, they were fighting for him. The least he could do was ensure that their soul never fell into enemy hands. Of course, Victor would not be satisfied with just this minimum. He had already made several protections for his soldiers.

"Then we will add him to every citizen of the Empire," Violet said. She trusted her husband 100%.

"The most important thing now: what do we do now?"

"We progress, we become stronger, smarter, and more prepared," Victor answered.

"How is the construction of Polaris?" He looked at Velnorah and Ruby.

Polaris, a project that began in secret in the 100,000th Millennium of the Imperial calendar, was a divine artifact of galaxy-destroyer class. The reason it was called that was that this divine artifact, in the form of a gigantic spaceship, was capable of bending reality, bending space and time, using concepts of destruction, and could even be transformed with Eldritch powers, and its most terrifying power... It can channel the concept of <END> if necessary.

Using Fenrir, Typhon, and Jormungand as conductors, this spaceship could channel this concept into a final attack that would erase everything from reality. Despite how this concept worked, the cannon would withstand the shot only once before disappearing. A problem they were trying to fix while building the ship.

"Completely built, we got stuck on how to make the END weapon functional, but we simply gave up trying to make the cannon withstand it and simply built hundreds of cannons that can be replaced at any time."

"Good. Hela, I want you to get used to using Polaris, she was your ship." Of everyone present, only she and Victor had resistance to END, and that was because Victor had access to the opposite divinity of END, BEGIN, and he was one step away from becoming the primordial concept of Negativity, Negativity itself alive.

"Yes, Darling~." Hela was very excited.

"Velnorah, Aline, and Ruby, I want you to think about how to make Polaris even deadlier. Everything you think of can be added to it... And put Pepper on the project."

"Yesss!!!" Pepper shouted excitedly.

"..." The wives swallowed hard.

"Victor, is it a good idea to give the green light to this?" Scathach, her own mother, was the one who asked. There was a reason why Pepper was not part of scientific development despite her immense creativity: she had many ideas that usually ended badly for both the Empire and the enemy.

But Velnorah and Ruby were not stupid, since they always wrote down the ideas Pepper gave, even if they were harmful, but they would never let her get more involved than necessary.

"Yes, she can do whatever she wants. I will trust her creativity, and I want another Polaris in reserve for myself... Therefore, my dear, before giving an idea, remember that I will be the one piloting it too." Victor smiled gently at Pepper.

"Leave it to me, Darling. I won’t disappoint you!!!" Pepper spoke.

"I will be on the project too," Scathach said. She did not trust that her sisters would control this chaos incarnate.

"Ehhh? Petty! Don’t you have something to do!?" Pepper complained. She knew that with her mother there, she wouldn’t be able to act out of control.

"Most of the time, I’m free. Don’t worry: I love your company, my daughter."

"That’s not fair!!!"
